Im currently on my healing journey and loving all the amazing things i'm discovering about me.

52:44 "the more you hide the shame is the more it takes over you and becomes toxic!

[@Kashmir-lt4cx]

42:47 when you speak out the truth, your body knows, and lets it go! ❤😊

[@happycutebox]

I really needed to hear this. It’s so true that we as women are programmed to care for everyone but ourselves. It’s time for a change and I choose to treat myself better.

[@ccc-eu8ln]

I love that word that relationship shouldn't be something fulfilling you but a compliment on what already you're.That is very true.

[@speakingpositivelywithlorie]

May we all receive and accept the healing we need so can step outside of our comfort zone, be our authentic self and tell our story! There are people assigned to You waiting to hear your story. 🙏🏾💚

[@angelalynn596]

OMG. When I first saw her I thought to myself, “She is so beautiful!!”

[@lovewins699]

This interview was right on time. I havent seen Dr. Sonja in a while now, but I had to stop and admire how beautiful she is! I love this WHOLE look on her!

[@shaniecegullison]

She looks absolutely amazing for 53!!!!!!!!

[@shaniecegullison]

Yes same I agree

[@jameskelly9243]

Haha still old,no value

[@vchgs2872]

​@@jameskelly9243Self-hate much? Respect yourself.

[@lexlow2780]

My soon to be ex husband made me feel like the ugliest person as well. That hit home! Geeze…

[@JCX-9]

I went through the same, it just shows their inadequacy so they have to make you feel as inadequate as they feel. Anybody who feels good about themselves will never try to bring you down.

[@jameskelly9243]

That's cause your gender thinks emotionally not logically. So you blame others for your failings

[@lindayeboahboateng4793]

Absolutely. My husband made me feel that too but at a point I realized that it's not me who is the problem, he is rather projecting his negativity and instability to me. So I started focusing on myself and my mental health and took a step away from him. Yet to process my divorce though, but I love the peace I am enjoying now

[@monicabass3145]

I’m a survivor. Divorced after 22years. #FDI #toxicbond Dr Sonja mentored. Coaching catapults pain to power. Happy for a new life.🎉❤

[@jameskelly9243]

You mean the prince lived happily ever after. Unless your stole his wealth

[@katnez]

Thank you for your service❤ unfortunately too many people are training, princesses and ballerina that they don’t even know the gender of no one appreciates the freedom and the people that put themselves on the line for it. America is such a great country and it’s being literally destroyed by our own people.

[@Kashmir-lt4cx]

59:15 awww I'm sooo sorry you went through that! 😭He's inadequate, insecure, and ugly! You are beautiful!❤😊

[@carmenalmodovar151]

Wow, I can relate to her story... being alone fighting against the battles of life. Not having anyone to support you but you still have to get going with your life. Inspired to write my book.

[@missdragonflies81]

Thank you Ms. Sonja Stribling and Lisa Bilyeu for this amazing, authentic interview. Feels like two good friends chatting it up. So much gem from Ms. Sonja. I loved the question "Am I hurt or injured? can I, or will I get back up?". Powerful stuff. and Lisa you reminding us to Pivot & things do not happen TO me, it happens FOR me.

[@amayaraymond4486]

This woman is beautiful 😍

[@_serreina]

I own all the seasons of Murder She Wrote on dvd it is absolutely my comfort show hahaha

[@dialmstyle]

Dr. Sonja! I met her virtually through Periscope about 9 years ago and here she is! Beautiful, inspirational. You both make for an amazing episode!

[@legendmoloi154]

I’m loving this conversation. Came at perfect time for me right now. Thank you

[@josievaccaro]

Inspirational ❤ Sometimes I slip back into victim mode and Sonja is a genuine thriver. So, I would like to learn more in depth of switching into thriver mode and being in Sonja's words powerful and mainatining that.

[@aidaniang1154]

Great conversation! thank you so much Lisa for inviting Dr Sonia to join you on your truth sofa. I have known of Dr Sonia a few weeks ago and she is a remarkable lady. Every episode you share with the world is God's gift to us all! May it continue for a very long time.

[@LisaBilyeu]

Thanks so so much for the support! 🥰

[@abuorayieta]

I was in Afghanistan, Kandahar working alongside military as a contractor and i remember that siren telling us there is an incoming rocket attack or being locked up at a DFAC because there was a ground attack. Scary stuff & it stays with you. She is a warrior..

[@jameskelly9243]

Warriors are combat soldiers she was just a solider depended on men to keep her safe

[@leilagomulka5690]

Yea. Give them something to talk about. An inspiration

[@rklund13]

After abuse and trauma some people lose their high level of success. Usually because we are surrounded by still or were with someone who made and makes us believe we will never amount to anything and do or have encouraged suicide.

[@pelumiraheen4936]

This woman is inspirational I'm looking forward to this thanks for this 🙏🏾

[@mindshiftmami]

this was a FANTASTIC episode. Thank you both so much Dr. Sonja, Lisa, and the editing team!

[@Anonymas-di6zc]

Loved that interview with Sonya 💕 I'm 53 struggeled all my life, guess my super power is indurance and keep trying even when nothing realy worked, but I know my self and I don't belive I would be capable to do what I do without wemen like you I can look up too, didn't happen often befor I knew this Amazing moovement, gives me hope for me and for humanity, at least those who staves for change and don't know how will jump on all those informations I needed and still need. Your my support and I never felt as supported as NOW Even if you don't know me, you describe me and love poeple like me and for me that's huge There's magic, real healing juste by lissening and put intoo action. Love Wonderwomen, didn't grew up with her, but since a saw the film I changed my posture more and more because I love her posture 🤣 I 💖 how she keeps her arms a litel behind and I do that too and I found out that's a very good one 👍🙌 I had a strong wake up when I read a book with amazons and feminin initiations. And I decided that my life was my initiation, put truly I was in a deep fog, frozzen, didn't found a way out of chronic pain, lost the plaisur to walk and went so numb that I coulden't feel it most of the time and with cptsd, unknown, I had chronic fatigue syndrôme and felt threatened all the time, my mind was blocked on " you can't proove me that nothing terrible can happens, in some seconds ahead... I knew it had no scence but it didn't change my fear, I was a basquette case, still ame a, but I'm a lost case for them and all I get from them is hard medication, at least it protects me against the strong stress, I was loosing my hear, and those big fears. But even with that medication I feel again and I love it. Some times it's strong and anger feels so good and fear fades away. I know how to deal with anger and I'm so releaft too feel it again and how I want to bite. I come back 🙏🏼😘

[@melliecrann-gaoth4789]

Thank you for hour post. I hear you. 53 is still young enough for your life to get good- well done you- you are a warrior. Compassion and strength to you. Pace yourself, it’s very small steady steps with big heavy health stuff.

[@joannemaier2797]

This is so inspiring, thats what i needed for my day ... Im at my own battle and dont even know how fight all of my own. Just watching this video gives me strength to get through again one day after a day... Thank you @LisaBilyeu and Sonja ... God bless you

[@shaniecegullison]

I love these women ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@jamilahamadi6937]

Thank you!!! Wow!!

[@melliecrann-gaoth4789]

I am so glad I have come upon this interview.

[@Anonymas-di6zc]

Juste thank you 💖💖 I cry because it's ouer story and you go under my skin. You stay noble and my be I projecte, but what I saw on your face was pain, juste at the begining... Lisa went so gentel ❤ 🙏 Thank you I need to see women like you, you get me, I get emotional and I feel the healing because I feel again. I'm not that much numb any more, anger, Sadness, Joy, Happiness and less fear.... Never did wake up that much, thank you 💕 it's time, I'm 53....

[@harmonyintime1019]

This episode makes my spiritual baby's leap...LOL at Whirlpool. No more Hotdog Jacuzzi water...Lisa, you are a real one. This is my second favorite episode...My favorite episode is DFW...Kudos to seeing how you and your husband are so yin and yang ☯️ since the beginning.

[@Kashmir-lt4cx]

[@emebetabduk9508]

like the shoe.☺

[@hafeezahahmad]

Been there .

[@RS-ov2st]

I think age , health, lack of skills , money, support of family and or , friends , or the far lack of, and trauma experience, plays a large part in how women are able to get back up . The younger you are , obviously, the more resilient you are.

[@Senuawolf]

❤❤❤

[@iam_ntli]

@ Lisa Bilyeu Your voice feels tthe pain she went through. 😢

[@Reallythough]

Is her book going to be on Audible?

[@shaniecegullison]

I want that too

[@jameskelly9243]

I hope not

[@Anonymas-di6zc]

Thank you ❤️😊😊💖 There's a lot of emotions, Lisas eyes look like mine and I cry often this times.... You talk befor the show ? I thought it is a signe of healing, also strong angar, I was so numb for decades and feeling again is amazing evev when it hurts. And I have my validation, craying is a signe of healing, thank you 💕 I

[@topstriker5178]

Great conversation. But being in the inner city is not a reason someone would say a million dollars. Most people would say that , Lisa.

12:32 yes it is, to put your husband first, he's grown, and I heard most males Never ever put their woman first!

[@jameskelly9243]

That a lie. A guy will lose his life defending his women.A women wont.

[@topstriker5178]

This woman is so beautiful .amd sexy... Wow.how can anyone call her ugly....encouragment to flee toxitity and relationships that destroy your self esteeem

[@rainbowgirl11000]

What about brain injury

[@annadams7148]

I just want to know what dating app she meet her husband…

[@debbiealdrich2166]

Probably not going to get noticed but I’ll do it anyway. How do you move on when you lost your precious mother in 21, your absolute beautiful barely 18 year old son 7 months later and your precious husband in 23? Please someone explain this to me!!! 🙏

[@Bri-ng6fn]

This King's and Queens BS has to stop if you do not have a Kingdom and servants, welcome to being just average

[@shaniecegullison]

Lol

[@kevinatalk327]

You will be fine.. MUB..

[@jameskelly9243]

You do.t care what people say... but you keep on and on about it. Get a life just admit you did wrong and more on. This not correct women rarely think of others first. Your only job is to take care of your family and husband.
